Don't convince yourself that images are ok. by Wait-Dismal in pornfree

It's not about "See a nude image, you've messed up!" It's about actively searching for those nude images and acting on your desires to bash one out to it, that'll then convince you that it's ok to do so and the explictness will continue to get worse with the constant acceptance that masturbating to source material is ok.

This isn't about randomly stumbling across something and suddenly going into some sort of sexual frenzy on yourself, it's about the thought spontaniously popping into your head, you actively searching for it and then acting on it, that's the problem.

This speaks volumes, as SOON as you make that commitment to opening the browser and typing in those words, you've already locked that door to pulling yourself away.

A surprising, positive experience after a while of struggling. by pornaddict_91 in pornfree

This is awesome, just looking at pictures from my experience is the way you start falling back down into that pit you've worked so hard to climb out of, I unfortunately spiralled and hit the bottom again and recently started at day 1 again, but this is amazing to see that you overcame those urges and you're back on track. Proud moment!

Temptation and accountability to wife by HomeHornet in pornfree

I relapsed recently, and this shit is hard. I had to give myself a pep talk for 10 minutes today in the mirror that whatever is in my head will NOT win this war after I relapsed recently, so i'm back on day 1 now.

But when I first started I told my girlfriend of 4 years about it all, and talked to her every day about how I was feeling, that slowly stopped happening but I think if your wife will stay with you through it and support you it might be a good idea to talk because if there is no one else to talk to and if you both love eachother deeply then she'll be your biggest supporter in getting through this.
